I got the idea from the Ham Radio world... where we have a product called a window coax feed through adapter...
Yes for sure. I have detectors in the room but I need to figure out if this is an issue in my house
hey there @kahoona I have it set up such that the AC Infinity fan is always running at least at minimum speed. It will ramp up if the temperature exceed the alarm limit. I'm not sure if that will completely prevent cold air from migrating up the exhaust tube in mid-February but that is my hope. What exactly is an eskimo trap?
Thanks @kahoona. I'm going to look into that. Can't hurt to have something in the event of a failure
hey @deltadubie nice looking flowers. You don't have any issues with humidity or smell over time?i just vent into my house and open the window a bit i am running big carbon filter too 6 inch blower .. save your heat and clean air

USE A GOOD SPRING LOADED BACK DRAFT DAMPER ..
Looks good!This is the one topic that I have had trouble finding information on this past year of learning. The majority of the threads related to venting tent exhaust end up talking about venting into attics and cutting holes in walls, etc. I don't want to go down that path if I don't have to. I have zero risk tolerance when it comes to possible damage to the house.
I have recently moved my 4x4 tent downstairs and thus made the decision to vent the exhaust outside. I had considered venting into another room, but I was paranoid about the possible smell and also had concerns about the humidity and possible moisture problems down the road. I recognize you can combat these concerns with additional equipment in the room itself, but I thought my plan to vent outside was a solid one.
I run a 6" AC Infinity fan with the aforementioned scrubber and then there is about a 4 foot run of ducting to the window. I put a piece of 1" styrofoam insulation in the window space and cut a 4" hole through it. The 6" ducting goes thru a reducer to a 4" and then thru the window via an aluminum pipe that extends out into the window well. I reduced the exhaust to a 4" thinking it would reduce possible cold backdraft. My tent exhaust is about 26.5C/80F and the RH in the tent is about 60%.
All of that said, its around -2C/28F outside and I see that the humidity drops out of the exhaust part way down the exhaust pipe and its starting to freeze. I know realize that this is going to probably cause possible issues a couple of months from now, if not weeks.
Have any of you ever experienced this problem and how did you combat it? I know someone is going to say to cut some holes in the walls or vent into the attic lol
Any insight you have would be greatly appreciated. Sorry about the long-winded question. Blame the Blue Dream!
